Broken commit, see new bug in TODO for details. Summary: new segfault at launch

TODO

@@ -9,10 +9,11 @@ features:
 * Status bar icon
 * Support viewing a list of friends and unfollowing them
 * Support creating new lists and adding users to it (as well as removing users and deleting lists)
-
+* Need a new way to post failed tweet retrieval to the status bar
 
 bugs: 
 
 * Direct Messages have no names, only screen names (may not be fixable without
   considerable tweets to python-twitter)
 * Can't always kill tabs
+* New segfault at start that can't be reproduced with gdb.  Must be a timing issue... adding locked access to some data in TweetPane didn't help... need locks to go with api objects.
